Mystery Date: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Isn’t every first date a mystery date?

You may have chatted with the person online, had a few phone calls, Skype, etc., but until you see them face-to-face anything is still possible.

They could dress weird, they could smell, they could have terrible table manners… anything.

Nervousness of making a great first impression and handling anything that might go wrong has to be a part of your game plan.

Be prepared and have a good time.

For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“The only mystery is why haven’t we met sooner?”

Being Yourself: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Your First Impression

So how do you introduce yourself anyways?

The introduction, of course, if the first impression you make on someone and you do want to make a good impression.

In a face-to-face encounter, if you make a bad first impression you have the opportunity, mos of the time, to correct whatever went badly.

In your online dating profile, the wrong word, wrong tone, or misunderstood wording is a black hole you’ll never climb out of and you’ll likely never know that you’ve missed an opportunity to meet someone nice.

Take these words of advice with you: speak carefully, speak to the person you want to meet and be honest.

What else could possible be asked of you?

For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“I am me, you are you, together could we be two?”

Have a great day!

Making A Geat First Impression

What does her body language tell you?

Tips to making a great first impression.

First off, let’s face reality: people will judge you, fairly or not, within the first couple of minutes after meeting you.

The first response, to fight or flight, is an automatic unconscious decision that we all make. Once that decision has been made the next action is whether there is attraction or not.

Both of these decisions are automatic and if you’re not at your best, and making a great first impression, you’ll fail and it’s then that much harder to attract someone.

When you do want to make the first impression the best it can be you have to:
be clean
be polite
be well-dressed
smile

You also need to keep a positive body language position. That means no hunching over, no crossing the arms across your chest and try to avoid the nervous laugh, it’s a big turn-off. When you speak to someone look them in the eyes, not at their chest, not over their shoulder.

These simple tips, when practiced and used, will help you make the best first impression ever!
